Another of those classic records so gloriously evocative of the time it came out, especially for those of my generation and a bit younger. I'd always been puzzled by the lyrics, at least those I could make out (for me a significant part was indecipherable) and what I could hear was a bit at odds with the somewhat melancholy strain of the music. Now, using one of the glories of the internet, I've been able to fill in the gaps and it does make more sense. But it's certainly a haunting production of a song which is, once heard, never forgotten.
